Do you have a favorite quote or saying?

I think I'd like to be on a different day - could I pick Sunday?



"you know when you are leaning back on a chair and just before you fall over backwards you catch yourself - I feel like that all the time" Steven Wright

Ginger, no. It's one of those 'money tree' Pachyra plants that has a braided trunk. Pic following. Thanks for commenting on the flowers, though. NOT! He he.

Pirl, I love those two quotes you posted. Mahnot I love yours too. I wholeheartedly agree. I know exactly what it's like NOT to have common sense. I can attest to the truth in that.

Harper

Oops. Forgot to turn it. Oh well. You get the idea. Hope your neck is flexible.

Harper

Al, did Stephen Wright do that first quote too? Funny! I like that one! My plumber's voice is exactly like Stephen Wright's. Anytime he comes over to fix something, I ask him to do a Stephen Wright joke. He does it perfectly!

Harper

Harper - so you do a plumbers voice? LOL

no the first one goes back to Blooms comment.`

Oh! Your own funny. Well, it's quote-worthy, Al.

Sure I'll do a plumber's voice, if the plumber sounds like me. LOL

Harper, you sound just like a plumber to me.

Ginger, I agree with you. I LOVE that floral arrangement! Great photo, Harper!

Harper - I fixed your photo so it is normal now - especially to Ginger ;)

Ha! Good one, Al !!

I can see Al has brought his wit into 2007! LOL
2 more I had thought of:

Some mistakes are too much fun
to only make once.

Most of us go to our grave
with our music still inside of us.

"Why did Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?"

Yup. Very funny Al. Thanks Gram. I make it my day's goal to sound like a plumber.

Pixie, good ones!

Al

Al that's truly funny. And funnier cause beings it was Saturday here it WAS Sunday there Ginger is 19 hrs ahead of Eastern time.

BTW, Ginger, here mostly folks with red hair get called "Red". gender doesn't figure in it here.
Glad tameetcha. So it's tropics where you live? okay I'm confused. thought you all were rather closer to Antartica's Ice Circle or whatever that ring of ocean current is called.

Never mind - another time. I'll search the internet, instead of my mind.
I'm not a nutter, but sure am addicted. /;-)

I will post a pic so you can see where I am.
If I was any farther North I would really be in the ----,
I can see on the map where you are.
The south pole is just below us,
On the Udder side.

Now THAT is funny!!

Great thread today. Pirl, the Mariah Carey quote! I had forgotten that. You and Al are cracking me up. Plus Ginger's cow!
What's a Ducati?

Where did Steven Wright disappear to? He cracked me up with his balsa wood house,etc.

Hi Dave47
A DUKE is a, a, a,
I`ll post a pic.

This is Actually one of Steve Irwin`s Favorite sayings.
"Flat out like a Lizard drinking water"
It means I’m very Busy.

Ginger - good recycling of tires in that retaining wall there. We never get to keep our tires here. Something about a "core charge". Then you hear about a huge tire pile that he caught fire and will burn for years and all the polution it is creating. I don't get it.

Dave - I'll find the others by "famous" people.

Hi, all. I studied latin when I was in school. My grandmother dreamed of the day I would become a priest and who knows, have a chance of becoming pope, thereby insuring her salvation for all eternity. But puberty came by, I discovered girls and the rest is history. Most of the girls faded away but the latin stuck with me. It comes in handy when reading those sometimes unbelievable names that are affixed to plants.

One of my favourite latin quotes is Sic transit gloria mundi: Thus passes the world's glory. To use it in context, when a beautiful bloom (or the whole plant) dies, I throw it out and quote that.

Another one that I love is not latin at all: "I'd rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion". You may have guessed I despise committees of any kind. Put me in charge of something, I'll carry out the task and be responsible for its outcome.

Another saying about committees is: "A giraffe is a race horse designed by a committee".

Here's one from my grandfather: "One shouldn't mistake God's children for wild ducks", meaning not everyone is an imbecile.

My mom used to say that "you don't blow your nose with onion peels", meaning that you had what it takes to do the job.

My belgian uncle used to say something to the same effect, only he said: "you don't tie your dog with sausages".

Recently, when my MIL told me something I was doing was stupid, I used this line I first heard on Cheers: "You do 9 stupid things before breakfast".

Take care, all.
Sylvain.

My favorite coffee cup (a gift) says:

DRINK COFFEE.......do stupid things faster with more energy.

Ginger, oh my. What a glorious Ducati that is. Yum! I must say, I know I'm crossing a line here, but you look pretty good next to it too. My BIL is Australian, from Italian heritage. He lives in LA now with my sister, but he was from Adelaide. He had a gorgeous Ducati years and years ago that he and my sister toured around Europe on. Nice! Eh?

I love all these quotes!! Welcome Sylvian!

Harper

Ooops! My face is red now. That's a bit young for me, but it doesn't hurt to look I guess. LOL

going to stick my head in the sand...
Harper

rotflol

that's alright Harper

Oh, phew. Glad I'm not dead.

This morning I had a great experience.
I woke up and noticed I was breathing.
That’s when you know it’s going to be a good day.

This Picture says it all.

That's the hypochondriac's epitaph!

I like:

Here lies a woman
who died very tired.
She lived in a house
where help was not hired.

ROTFLMBO.....you guys are on a roll today!!

here's one that was on a poster I had on the half door on my old cube at work...Murphy's Laws for the office

Swallow a frog first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen for the rest of the day

pirl
I like yours.
My OH would agree Wholeheartedly.

grampapa
Do frogs come in tablet form ???

not on this side of the world, ginger LOL although, I'm sure someone would make them if they thought there was a market for it. frog supplements...maybe you're on to something ;-)

gram ~a girl~

have to go back to my old signature..lots of people who don't know me

thanks Gramps ;)

"If I had a Flower for Every time I thought about you.
Forever, I would walk in your Garden."



I have a garden sign: " FREE WEEDS "
PICK YOUR OWN.
